  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example stent delivery system 10 .
  • System 10 may include an elongate shaft 12 and a handle 14 coupled to shaft 12 .
  • system 10 may be used to deliver a suitable stent, graft, endoprosthesis or the like to an area of interest within a body lumen of a patient.
  • the body lumen may be a blood vessel located near the heart (e.g., within or near a cardiac vessel), within a peripheral vessel, within a neurological vessel, or at any other suitable location.
  • Deployment of the stent may include the proximal retraction of a retraction sheath 16 , which overlies the stent.
  • Retraction of sheath 16 may include the actuation of an actuation member 18 generally disposed at handle 14 .
  • actuation member 18 is a thumb wheel that can be rotated by a clinician in order to accomplish proximal retraction of deployment sheath 16 .
  • Numerous other actuation members are contemplated.
  • a number of other structures and features of system 10 can be seen in FIG. 1 and are labeled with reference numbers. Additional discussion of these structures can be found below.
  • FIGS. 2-6 illustrate at least some of the structural components that may be included as a part of system 10 .
  • system 10 may include an inner shaft or member 20 as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
  • inner member 20 may be a tubular structure and, thus, may include a lumen (not shown).
  • the lumen may be a guidewire lumen that extends along at least a portion of the length of inner member 20 . Accordingly, system 10 may be advanced over a guidewire to the desired target location in the vasculature.
  • the lumen may be a perfusion/aspiration lumen that allows portions, components, or all of system 10 to be flushed, perfused, aspirated, or the like.
  • Inner member 20 may include a stent receiving region 22 about which a stent (not shown, can be seen in FIGS. 3-4 ) may be disposed.
  • the length and/or configuration of stent receiving region 22 may vary.
  • stent receiving region 22 may have a length sufficient for the stent to be disposed thereon. It can be appreciated that as the length of the stent utilized for system 10 increases, the length of stent receiving region 22 also increases.
  • Ports 24 may extend through the wall of inner member 20 such that fluid may be infused through the lumen of inner member 20 and may be flushed through ports 24 . This may be desirable for a number of reasons. For example, ports 24 may allow a clinician to evacuate air bubbles that may be trapped adjacent the stent by perfusing fluid through ports 24 . In addition, ports 24 may be used to aspirate fluid that may be disposed along inner member 20 . Ports 24 may also aid in sterilization and/or other preparatory processing steps that may be involved in preparing system 10 for sale.
  • a tip 26 may be attached to or otherwise disposed at the distal end of inner member 20 .
  • Tip 26 may generally have a rounded or smooth shape that provides a generally atraumatic distal end to system 10 .
  • tip 26 may have a smooth tapered distal portion 28 that gently tapers.
  • Tip may also include a proximal ridge 30 that is configured so that sheath 16 can abut therewith.
  • Tip 26 may also include a tapered proximal portion 33 . Numerous other shapes and/or configurations are contemplated for tip 26 .
  • Tip 26 may also include one or more cutouts or flats 32 formed therein.
  • flats 32 are understood to be cutouts or flattened portions of tip 26 where the outer dimension or profile of tip 26 is reduced.
  • the name “flats” comes from the fact that these regions may have a somewhat “flat” appearance when compared to the remainder of tip 26 , which generally may have a rounded profile.
  • the shape, however, of flats 32 is not meant to be limited to being flat or planar as numerous shapes are contemplated.
  • Flats 32 may allow for a gap or space to be defined between inner member 20 and deployment sheath 16 when sheath 16 abuts proximal ridge 30 of tip 26 . This gap may allow for fluid, for example perfusion fluid passed through ports 24 , to flow out from sheath 16 .
  • flats 32 may be used in conjunction with ports 24 to allow portions or all of system 10 to be flushed or otherwise evacuated of air bubbles.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates inner member 20 with some additional structure of system 10 .
  • a stent 34 is disposed about inner member 20 (e.g., about stent receiving region 22 of inner member 20 ).
  • stent 34 is a self-expanding stent. Accordingly, stent 34 may be biased to outwardly expand. Because of this, stent 34 may not be “loaded onto” inner member 20 in a strict sense but rather may be thought of as being disposed about or surrounding inner member 20 . Stent 34 may then be restrained within deployment sheath 16 . In alternative embodiments, however, stent 34 may be directly loaded onto inner member 20 via crimping or any other suitable mechanical holding mechanism.
  • An intermediate tube 36 may also be disposed over inner member 20 .
  • intermediate tube 36 may extend from a position adjacent to the proximal end of inner member 20 to a position proximal of the distal end of inner member 20 .
  • Intermediate tube 36 may include a bumper 38 .
  • bumper 38 may function by preventing any unwanted proximal movement of stent 14 during navigation and/or deployment of stent 38 .
  • Bumper 38 may have any suitable form.
  • bumper 38 may be defined by a relatively short tube or sleeve that is disposed about intermediate tube 36 .
  • the material utilized for the sleeve may be the same or different from that of intermediate tube 36 .
  • Intermediate tube 36 may have a tapered or otherwise smooth transition in outer diameter adjacent bumper 38 .
  • polymeric material may be disposed or reflowed adjacent bumper 38 (which may include disposing the polymeric material about a portion or all of bumper 38 ) so as to define a gentle transition in outer diameter at bumper 38 .
  • Other configurations are contemplated and may be utilized in alternative embodiments.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates additional structure of system 10 .
  • deployment sheath 16 can be seen disposed over inner member 20 , intermediate tube 36 , and stent 34 .
  • sheath 16 is configured to shift between a first position, for example as shown in FIG. 4 , where sheath 16 overlies stent 34 and a second position where sheath 16 is proximally retracted to a position substantially proximal of stent 34 .
  • the first position may be utilized during navigation of system 10 to the appropriate location within a body lumen and the second position may be used to deploy stent 34 .
  • Sheath 16 may include a flared portion 40 where the outer diameter of sheath 16 is increased. In portion 40 , the thickness of the tubular wall of sheath 16 may or may not be increased. Flared portion 40 may be desirable for a number of reasons. For example, flared portion 40 may allow sheath 16 to have an adequate inner dimension that is suitable so that sheath 16 may be disposed about stent 34 and bumper 38 .
  • sheath 16 may include a reinforcing member 42 embedded or otherwise included therewith.
  • Reinforcing member 42 may have any number of a variety of different configurations.
  • reinforcing member 42 may include a braid, coil, mesh, combinations thereof, or the like, or any other suitable configuration.
  • reinforcing member 42 may extend along the entire length of sheath 16 .
  • reinforcing member 42 may extend along one or more portions of the length of sheath 16 .
  • reinforcing member 42 may extend along flared portion 40 .
  • Sheath 16 may also include a radiopaque marker or band 44 .
  • marker band 44 may be disposed adjacent to the distal end 46 of sheath 16 .
  • One or more additional marker bands 44 may be disposed along other portions of sheath 16 or other portions of system 10 .
  • Marker band 44 may allow the distal end 46 of sheath 16 to be fluoroscopically visualized during advancement of system 10 and/or deployment of stent 34 .
  • FIG. 4 also illustrates the distal end 46 of sheath 16 abutting proximal ridge 30 .
  • stent 34 can be flushed (e.g., to remove air bubbles) by infusing fluid through inner member 20 and through ports 24 . Because of flats 32 , fluid may be allowed to be flushed out of sheath 16 by passing through the gaps formed between inner member 20 and sheath 16 at flats 32 .
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a distal portion 48 of handle 14 .
  • handle 14 is attached to an outer member 50 .
  • Outer member 50 may be disposed about sheath 16 and extend along a portion of the length of sheath 16 .
  • system 10 may include four tubular structures that may be coaxially arranged—namely outer member 50 , deployment sheath 16 , intermediate tube 36 , and inner member 20 .
  • outer member 50 may provide system 10 with a number of desirable benefits.
  • outer member 50 may include or otherwise be formed from a lubricious material that can reduce friction that may be associated with proximally retracting sheath 16 .
  • outer member 50 may comprise a surface that can be clamped or otherwise locked so that the position of system 10 can be maintained without negatively impacting the refraction of sheath 16 (which might otherwise be impacted if sheath 16 was to be clamped). Numerous other desirable benefits may also be achieved through the use of outer member 50 .
  • Sheath 16 may pass proximally through outer member 50 and extend proximally back within handle 14 . Intermediate tube 36 and inner member 20 both also extend back within handle 14 and are disposed within sheath 14 .
  • the proximal end of sheath 16 may be attached to a gear rack assembly 52 with a fastener or clip 54 as illustrated in FIG. 6 .
  • Gear rack assembly 52 may include a plurality of teeth or gears 56 . In practice, teeth 56 may be configured to engage with corresponding teeth or gears (not shown) on thumbwheel 18 .
  • thumbwheel 18 via gearing thereof with gears 56 , can be utilized to proximally retract gear rack assembly 52 and, thus, sheath 16 .
  • Other structural arrangements may be utilized to accomplish proximal retraction of gear rack assembly 52 through the actuation of thumbwheel 18 or any other suitable actuation member.
  • Gear rack assembly 52 may also include a flared proximal end 58 .
  • the main body of gear rack assembly 52 may be disposed within handle 14 and proximal end 58 may be disposed along the exterior of handle 14 .
  • Gear rack assembly 52 may have a slot or groove 68 formed therein (not shown in FIG. 6 , can be seen in FIG. 8 ). Groove 68 may extend the length of gear rack assembly 52 , including extending along proximal end 58 .
  • proximal end 58 may be generally located near the proximal end of inner member 20 , the flared shape of proximal end 58 and the orientation of groove 68 may allow proximal end 58 to function as a guidewire introducer or funnel that may assist a clinician in placing, holding, removing, and/or exchanging a guidewire extending through inner member 20 .
  • intermediate tube 36 may need to be configured so as to provide the desired longitudinal support necessary to limit proximal movement of stent 34 .
  • the proper configuration of these structures may be maintained, at least in part, through the use of a clip member 60 as illustrated in FIG. 7 .
  • clip member 60 is disposed within handle 14 and is configured to be secured along the interior of handle 14 . Accordingly, clip member 60 allows the longitudinal position of one or more portions of system 10 to be fixed relative to handle 14 .
  • clip member 60 may include one or more fasteners or legs 62 a / 62 b .
  • handle 14 may have one or more slots, grooves, openings, or the like that are configured to seat legs 62 a / 62 b such that the relative position of clip member 60 relative to handle 14 is fixed.
  • clip member 60 may be configured to “snap in” to handle 14 . This may desirably simplify manufacturing.
  • clip member 60 may be such that it is positioned near one or more structures of system 10 .
  • clip member 60 may be configured so that at least a portion thereof is positioned within a groove 68 (not shown in FIG. 7 , can be seen in FIG. 8 ) of gear rack assembly 52 . This may desirably place clip member 60 near inner member 20 and intermediate tube 36 (which may also extend through groove 68 ) such that clip member 60 can be associated therewith.
  • Inner member 20 may be coupled with clip member 60 such that the longitudinal position of inner member 20 can be fixed relative to handle 14 .
  • clip member 60 may include one or more tubular sections, for example a tubular section 64 , through which inner member 20 may extend.
  • a sleeve or cuff 66 may be disposed about inner member 20 at a position proximal of the proximal end of clip member 60 .
  • Sleeve 66 may substantially prevent any unwanted distal movement of inner member 20 via interference with clip member 60 .
  • thumbwheel 18 When stent 34 is deployed, a clinician may actuate the actuation thumbwheel 18 . Because of the association of thumbwheel 18 with gear rack assembly 52 , relative rotation of thumbwheel 18 causes proximal movement of deployment sheath 16 . As deployment sheath 16 proximally retracts, stent 34 is “uncovered” and (if stent 34 is a self-expanding stent) can expand within the body lumen.
  • the relative position of the inner member or structure (e.g., the structure about which the stent is disposed or is loaded on) remains fixed relative to the deployment sheath during stent deployment.
  • the inner member is removed from the body lumen by proximally retracting it after the stent is fully deployed.
  • the deployment process in typical systems generally includes: (1) proximally retracting the deployment sheath to fully deploy the stent and then (2) proximally retracting the inner member and/or other components of the system by pulling the inner member proximally through the interior of the deployed stent and, ultimately, out from the body.
  • the proximal retracting of the inner member through the interior of the stent also includes proximally retracting the tip through the interior of the stent.
  • Such tips may have an outer profile that approximates the outer diameter of the deployment sheath. In other words, the outer profile of the tip may be relatively “enlarged” as compared to the inner member. Because of the relatively large profile of the tip, there may be a possibility that the tip could engage the stent when being proximally retracted. This could displace the position of the stent, disrupt the structure of the stent, or have any number of undesirable effects.
  • Stent delivery system 10 is designed to help reduce the possibility that tip 26 could “catch” on stent 34 .
  • system 10 is designed to proximally retract inner member 20 along with deployment sheath 16 . This, desirably, brings tip 26 proximally during stent 34 deployment and obviates the need for the clinician to pull tip 26 back through the full length of stent 34 after deployment.
  • a clinician may actuate thumbwheel 18 to begin proximally retracting deployment sheath 16 . After sheath 16 is retracted a relatively short distance, a structural feature of system 10 may interact with inner member 20 so that inner member 20 begins to also retract upon further retraction of deployment sheath 16 .
  • the structural feature of system that may result in proximal movement of inner member 20 includes a feature of gear rack assembly 52 (which is already associated with proximal movement of deployment sheath 16 ).
  • gear rack assembly 52 may include a loop or catch 70 as shown in FIG. 8 .
  • Loop 70 may be positioned a relatively short distance proximally of clip member 60 .
  • Inner member 20 may extend through loop 70 . The short distance between loop 70 and clip member 60 may allow deployment sheath 16 to begin proximally retracting to uncover stent 34 and, if stent 34 is a self-expanding stent, for stent 34 to begin expanding.
  • intermediate tube 36 (which is shown spaced from clip member 60 in FIG. 8 but in practice will abut clip member 60 ) may be positioned so that it abuts clip member 60 . Because clip member 60 is fixed to handle 14 , intermediate tube 36 remains substantially fixed and, thus, prevents any unwanted proximal movement of stent 34 during deployment.
  • FIGS. 9-13 schematically illustrate the deployment of stent 34 with system 10 .
  • FIG. 9 illustrates the relative position of the various structures of system 10 prior to deployment.
  • deployment sheath 16 With actuation of thumbwheel 18 , deployment sheath 16 beings to proximally retract (via gear rack assembly 52 ) to uncover stent 34 as illustrated in FIG. 10 .
  • gear rack assembly 52 is proximally retracted a distance sufficient to result in loop 70 engaging sleeve 66 of inner member 20
  • further proximal retraction of gear rack assembly 52 begins to also proximally retract inner member 20 and, thus, tip 26 as shown in FIG. 11 .
  • Proximal retraction may continue until the full length of stent 34 is uncovered and, thus, stent 34 is deployed as shown in FIG. 12 .
  • tip 26 may be positioned near the proximal end of the stent 34 at the completion of deployment. This may include positioning proximal ridge 30 of tip 26 (which may be a possible “catch point” of tip 26 ) at or near the proximal end of stent 34 . Because of this, tip 26 only needs to travel a relatively short distance in order to clear stent 34 as shown in FIG. 13 .
  • FIG. 14 illustrates a portion of another example gear rack assembly 152 , which can be used with system 10 as well as other systems disclosed and contemplated herein, that includes a projection 170 that can interact with sleeve 66 .
  • projection 170 may project outward from the inner surface of gear rack assembly 152 (e.g., along a portion or all of the interior of groove 152 ).
  • Projection 170 may be sufficiently large so that it can interfere with sleeve 66 and, thus, catch on sleeve 66 so as to proximally retract inner member 20 .
  • FIG. 15 illustrates a portion of another example gear rack assembly 252 , which can be used with system 10 as well as other systems disclosed and contemplated herein, that includes a horseshoe shaped clip 270 that can interact with sleeve 66 .
  • Clip 270 is similar to loop 70 except that clip 270 does not form a full loop of material that surrounds inner member 20 . Such a configuration may be desirable for a number of reasons. For example, clip 270 may allow assembly of system 10 to include snapping inner member 20 into clip 270 rather than feeding inner member 20 through a complete loop structure. Other forms, shapes, and configurations are contemplated for clip 270 .
  • FIG. 16 illustrates a portion of another example gear rack assembly 352 , which can be used with system 10 as well as other systems disclosed and contemplated herein, that includes a loop assembly 370 that can interact with sleeve 66 .
  • Loop assembly 370 may include loop 370 a and a rod 370 b that may be accessible along the exterior of handle 14 so that a user can manipulate the position of inner member 20 manually. It should be noted that loop 370 a may be complete loop (e.g., similar to loop 70 ) or a partial loop (e.g., similar to clip 270 ). Other forms and configurations are contemplated for loop assembly 370 .
  • Shaft 12 , deployment sheath 16 , and inner member 20 , and/or other components of system 10 may be made from a metal, metal alloy, polymer (some examples of which are disclosed below), a metal-polymer composite, combinations thereof, and the like, or any other suitable material.
  • suitable metals and metal alloys include stainless steel, such as 304V, 304L, and 316LV stainless steel; mild steel; nickel-titanium alloy such as linear-elastic and/or super-elastic nitinol; other nickel alloys such as nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys (e.g., UNS: N06625 such as INCONEL® 625, UNS: N06022 such as HASTELLOY® C-22®, UNS: N10276 such as HASTELLOY® C276®, other HASTELLOY® alloys, and the like), nickel-copper alloys (e.g., UNS: N04400 such as MONEL® 400, NICKELVAC® 400, NICORROS® 400, and the like), nickel-cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys (e.g., UNS: R30035 such as MP35-N® and the like), nickel-molybdenum alloys (e.g.,
  • Linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nitinol may be distinguished from super elastic nitinol in that the linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nitinol does not display a substantial “superelastic plateau” or “flag region” in its stress/strain curve like super elastic nitinol does.
  • linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nitinol as recoverable strain increases, the stress continues to increase in a substantially linear, or a somewhat, but not necessarily entirely linear relationship until plastic deformation begins or at least in a relationship that is more linear that the super elastic plateau and/or flag region that may be seen with super elastic nitinol.

  • linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nitinol may also be distinguishable from super elastic nitinol in that linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nitinol may accept up to about 2-5% strain while remaining substantially elastic (e.g., before plastically deforming) whereas super elastic nitinol may accept up to about 8% strain before plastically deforming. Both of these materials can be distinguished from other linear elastic materials such as stainless steel (that can also can be distinguished based on its composition), which may accept only about 0.2-0.44% strain before plastically deforming.
  • the linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy is an alloy that does not show any martensite/austenite phase changes that are detectable by DSC and DMTA analysis over a large temperature range.
  • the mechanical bending properties of such material may therefore be generally inert to the effect of temperature over this very broad range of temperature.
  • the mechanical bending properties of the linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy at ambient or room temperature are substantially the same as the mechanical properties at body temperature, for example, in that they do not display a super-elastic plateau and/or flag region.
  • the linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy maintains its linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic characteristics and/or properties and has essentially no yield point.
  • the linear elastic and/or non-super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy may be in the range of about 50 to about 60 weight percent nickel, with the remainder being essentially titanium. In some embodiments, the composition is in the range of about 54 to about 57 weight percent nickel.
  • a suitable nickel-titanium alloy is FHP-NT alloy commercially available from Furukawa Techno Material Co. of Kanagawa, Japan. Some examples of nickel titanium alloys are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,238,004 and 6,508,803, which are incorporated herein by reference. Other suitable materials may include ULTANIUMTM (available from Neo-Metrics) and GUM METALTM (available from Toyota).
  • a superelastic alloy for example a superelastic nitinol can be used to achieve desired properties.
  • portions or all of shaft 12 , deployment sheath 16 , and inner member 20 may also be doped with, made of, or otherwise include a radiopaque material including those listed herein or other suitable radiopaque materials.
  • a degree of MRI compatibility is imparted into system 10 .
  • MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • shaft 12 , deployment sheath 16 , and inner member 20 may be made of a material that does not substantially distort the image and create substantial artifacts (artifacts are gaps in the image).
  • Certain ferromagnetic materials, for example, may not be suitable because they may create artifacts in an MRI image.
  • Shaft 12 , deployment sheath 16 , and inner member 20 , or portions thereof, may also be made from a material that the MRI machine can image.
  • Some materials that exhibit these characteristics include, for example, tungsten, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys (e.g., UNS: R30003 such as ELGILOY®, PHYNOX®, and the like), nickel-cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys (e.g., UNS: R30035 such as MP35-N® and the like), nitinol, and the like, and others.
  • cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys e.g., UNS: R30003 such as ELGILOY®, PHYNOX®, and the like
  • nickel-cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys e.g., UNS: R30035 such as MP35-N® and the like
  • nitinol and the like
  • suitable polymers that may be used to form shaft 12 , deployment sheath 16 , and inner member 20 , and/or other components of system 10 may include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), polyoxymethylene (POM, for example, DELRIN® available from DuPont), polyether block ester, polyurethane (for example, Polyurethane 85A), polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyether-ester (for example, ARNITEL® available from DSM Engineering Plastics), ether or ester based copolymers (for example, butylene/poly(alkylene ether) phthalate and/or other polyester elastomers such as HYTREL® available from DuPont), polyamide (for example, DURETHAN® available from Bayer or CRISTAMID® available from Elf Atochem), elastomeric polyamides, block polyamide, block
  • the exterior surface of the system 10 may include a coating, for example a lubricious, a hydrophilic, a protective, or other type of coating.
  • Hydrophobic coatings such as fluoropolymers provide a dry lubricity which improves device handling and exchanges.
  • Lubricious coatings improve steerability and improve lesion crossing capability.
  • Suitable lubricious polymers may include silicone and the like, polymers such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyarylene oxides, polyvinylpyrolidones, polyvinylalcohols, hydroxy alkyl cellulosics, algins, saccharides, caprolactones, and the like, and mixtures and combinations thereof.
  • Hydrophilic polymers may be blended among themselves or with formulated amounts of water insoluble compounds (including some polymers) to yield coatings with suitable lubricity, bonding, and solubility.
